M. Ahrach et al., SYNTHESIS OF 6,6-DISUBSTITUTED TETRAHYDROTHIOPHENO [3,4-C] ISOXAZOLINES FROM BETA-NITROENONES, Synthetic communications, 27(11), 1997, pp. 1865-1876
beta-Nitrosulfides 2, formed by Michael addition of prop-2-en-1-thiol
to beta-nitroenones 1 in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethy
lamine, undergo either Intramolecular Nitrile Oxide Cycloadditions (IN
OC) or Intramolecular Silylnitronate Cycloadditions (ISOC) to function
alized 6,6-disubstituted tetrahydrothiopheno [3,4-c] isoxazolines 3 an
d 4. The stereoselectivity, poor by the INOC reactions starting from a
cyclic beta-nitroenones, is markedly increased with the ISOC procedure
.
